Being a 19 year old, needy, hormonal git I moan quite a lot. Well quite frankly, every other sentence that leaves my mouth is a whiny one so I kinda need a distraction that will stop me moaning for more than 30 seconds. I'm not a misery guts don't worry, in fact I'm quite the opposite. But sadly, on the days that I wake up and realise I've overslept or I skipped the gym etc. I get quite cranky and grumpy before I've even left the house which doesn't put me in good stead for the long day ahead. This is bad news for everyone who comes into contact with me. Also, being a media student I kind of need to get some practice in writing. I'm from Dudley so the use of SE is rare, so this will improve my illiteracy. Personally, I don't see myself as illiterate but E V E R Y B O D Y I know always picks me up on my accent & especially the dialect I use (t'ay mar fault you'm all saft) so I may as well prove to them that I am capable of writing correctly.Even though in those 2 opening paragraphs I do come across as a grumbler but I swear I'm not. I've called my blog 'Happy as Barry' for a few reasons, sadly being a boxer isn't one of them (look it up). Frankly, I just really like the saying and the connotations that come with it and I really do want to use this blog to share my positive ideas, thoughts, experiences etc. Secondly, it's a play on words from the quote because my friend's all call me Barry (please don't ask). And finally, I just think it works well so yeah? Welcome to Happy as Barry.
I'd like to tell you all that my hobbies are horse-riding, composing music and that I volunteer at the care home down the road but that would be a lie. The only thing that I'm really passionate about is music and even then I only care about listening to it. Yet I adore going to gigs. In my eyes there really isn't anything better than standing in a room/field/stadium, with a can in hand with your mates and thousands of strangers whilst getting lost in the music for an hour and a half. Well, tell a lie, I say I only listen to music... I also present my own radio show with my friend Beth on our university radio station, which is kinda cool? I absolutely love being on the radio, alongside blogging it's my kind of escape from everything that I don't want to deal with like the stresses of university, work, a hectic social life and so forth so for those two hours I get to:1. Ramble with my best friend.
2. Play some decent music.
3. Be listened to!! Nobody ever listens to me in conversation, despite how loud I scream and how much I stamp my feet, so it's a nice feeling to feel listened to.
I mean I can't promise you that I'm any good on the radio, you'll have to be the judge of that yourselves but we are definitely worthy of a listen as we will provide you with some giggles.In addition to rambling on the radio and going to gigs I also love fashion, purely because mine is bizarre and terrible yet I'm somehow able to pull the outfits off. Everyday clothing will be a mismatch of everything and anything because, why not ey? However, I do tame myself for nights up town, tame being a loose term.
I've lost myself here, the post was intended to describe the purpose of the blog and I still haven't done that, oopsy. I'll be posting a variety of fashion posts, music reviews, ramblings from my life and even some updates on where I'm at. I intend to do a post every Friday morning and I promise I'll try and keep my word.
Next week's post will be a post about my favourite A/W statement piece that I own so I can't wait to share that with you all but for now I'm going to have a relaxed weekend before I start back at university on Monday. My sincerest apologies if this is terrible and boring but I suppose that's your fault for reading this waffly piece. I'll leave you with a few photos from Fresher's week that I think show me in my element??Until next time, Barry x.
